Acts 2:36-41 / John 20:11-18
It is not that easy to get to the point with just a few words.
But if those words are clear and truthful, then the point wlll be made.
In the 1st reading, Peter made it clear to the point when he said this: The whole House of Isael can be certain that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ.
It was not that many words but upon hearing this, the people were cut to the heart.
In the gospel, it was only one word that changed everything.
It was not actually a word; it was a name. Jesus called out to Mary by her name and then everything was changed.
As we stay longer at home with our family members, let us not use too many words to cause confusion and even resentment.
Let us call out to each other lovingly by name.
That might just change the whole situation and turn it better.
